4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpen...@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit 36cc2b9222b5106de34085c4dd8635ac67ef5cba ]
We don't set an error code here which means that perf_event_alloc()
returns ERR_PTR(0) (in other words NULL). The callers are not expecting
that and would Oops.
